HAIR WAVER.

Application filed August 24, 1927. Serial No. 215,166.

This invention resides in the provision of a hair waver `which is simple as to construetion, inexpensive, exceptionally small and compact, and ornamental and which may be quickly and easily applied to thc hair to produce lasting waves of the desired forni.

One of the objects of the invention is to provide a hair waver of the character dcscribed which waver will pern'lit of a quick hair waving operation with a heated iron, tongs or other similar appliance, without burning the hair, or without the use of a heated iron or other waving appliance will also provide for an expeditious waving of the hair.

A further object is to provide a hair waver which will not discomfort the user due to its shape, `flexibility and special construction, said waver being inconspicuous when in use.

-With the aboveinentioned and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described, illustrated in the aecompanying drawing, and set forth in the claims hereto appended, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion, size and .minor details of construction within the scope of the claims may be resorted to without departing frein the spirit or sacrilicing any of the advantages of the invention.

Referring to the drawing:

Fig. l is a top plan view of the hair waver as when open.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the hair Waver as when closed.

Fig. 3 is an edge view in elevation of the hair waver as when closed.

Fig. 4l; is a side elevation of -the hair waver showing the manner of applying heating tongs thereto. f (')ne embodimentr of my invention which is shown in detail in the accompanying drawing is made up of two thin and comparatively small foi-aminated metal pieces l and 2, preferably of disk or sheet form and hinged as at 3, saiddisks being adapted to be clamped together with the hair to be waved pressed between them. A clasp is provided and in the present instance it coniprises a bendable peripheral projection 4L on each of the disks. I prefer to make the disks circular' and of small resilient and bendable wire woven in a spider web mesh and about an inch. and one half in diameter but l wish it understood that the disks may be made of any suitable material and of varying sizes and shapesand not necessarily in spider web mesh. However, by using spider web meshed metal disks which are circular and about the size of a silver half dollar, I provide an inexpensive and most eliective Waver which is small, compact, easy to operate and highly ornamental. Because of the small wire the disks are made bendable and resilient and therefore will not discomfort the user. The wire will become heated when a heated curling .iron or like device is applied thereto and lwill expedite the application of heat to the hair to be waved. The shape and construction of the disks provide for an effective application of heating irons or tongs to the Waver without burning 'the hair.

To use the waver, the hair to be waved is eonvolved around the finger or other yobject and when in the desired forni is placed between the disks l and 2, which disks are then pressed together to clamp the hair tightly between them. The ben dable projections 4 are then bent over and upon the outer side of the disks and thereby hold the disks together. The hair may be dampened either before or after being placed in the Waver.

On removing the waver from the hair after it has remained in place for the usual length of time, the hair will be found to be effectively waved as desired. To produce a quick wave, heated irons or tongs are applied to the Waver which itself becomes heated and facilitates the application of heat to the hair.` The irregularities provided by a spider web weave insures a tight and effective clamping of the hair between the disks and also facilitates the holding of the iron or tongs on the Waver f besides rendering the article as a whole eX- ceptionally ornamental. The spider web weave also provides for use of line wire and makes for a small, light, inconspicuous device in that said weave provides more rigidity and strength than ordinary square .mesh weaves. However, the main advantages of my invention may be secured by use of thin, pliable, foraminated disks arranged so that they may be readily clasped together with the hair therebetween, the said disks being preferably but not necessarily made of wire.l

It will be noted that the border of each disk is provided by several small wires twistmeshed Wire disks adapted to hold hair between them and means for clamping the disks together.

2. A hair Waver comprising t-Wo hendable nieshed Wire disks hinged togetherV and adapted to i'old together' to clamp hetWeen them the hair to be Waved, and av hendahle Clasp on one disk adapted to he bent over and upon the other disk to hold the disks Closely together.
